50. Accidental Video

[foolishwren]

_{[When the feed flickers on, it's first displaying a somewhat unsteady view of Heather's back. Occasionally it swivels back and forth shakily-- showing a blurry view of what looked like a lot of cracked eggshells. There were a few towels lying crumpled on the floor, as well. Her voice, muffled and slightly blotted out by the constant clicking and rattling noises resulting from the Totodile claws that are grappling to keep hold on the camera.]}

--thought you weren't gonna make it before the first day've the New Year was over. Guess you like cuttin' it close to the wire, huh little guy?

<sub>[There's something small but fuzzy and ragged-looking draped over her shoulder, jostling slightly as she rubs it down with a towel.]

[It's white, mostly-- with spiky, damp hair and something indistinct sticking out of its head-- something black and sickle-like. A reaper-y blade.]</sub>

Guess it's appropriate, though.

_{[She sits back and the camera's view scurries forward a little bit, swiveling upwards insistently. Catching sight of it (and its carrier-- guess who) out of the corner of her eye, Heather turns with a quirked brow.]}

Wh-- Zilla, put that thing down, you're gonna break it.

_{[She uses one hand to better support the fuzzy white thing cradled against her shoulder and makes a sort of halfhearted grab for Godzilla and the 'Gear with the other-- he dances out of reach, but she does hit a button and the Pokedex function comes online.]}

ABSOL, the DISASTER POKEMON. It has the ability to predict disasters and impending danger. Its tendency to only appear before humans prior to disasters has earned it a reputation as an evil omen and often caused it to become a target, leading to the species becoming even more shy and reclusive.

... Predicting disasters, huh.

Guess I'm safe, then. _{Mine's already happened.}

I know just what I'm gonna call you.

_{[Curious about the newest addition to their little motley crew, Godzilla inches forward with the camera once again, zooming in on the little creature's face. As the view gets clearer, a single red eye-- the one not obscured by a limp mop of white fur-- drifts open.]}

How do you feel about 'Alessa'?





[ooc: TAGS WILL COME TOMORROW-- I just realized I'm running a fever and shit's starting to move that really shouldn't. SORRY ILU GUYS. I'll-- .. um, I'll be back later. 8(;]

_{[She actually looks... a LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE at being referred to as 'Mom' but she doesn't address it-- just grins as usual.]}

Heh, thanks!

Something tells me this one's not going to be as ... uh, rambunctious as Zilla.

_{[Indeed, the little Absol is just sort of hunkered down and watching everything silently.]}

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

She seems kinda quiet. [tilts his head to stare at her]

[video]

[foolishwren]

_{[She tilts her head a little as well.]}

Yeah... little bit... I hope she's not sick or something...

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

She just hatched, right? Don't get too worried about her; she's probably just taking in her surroundings.

[video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah... I'll just keep an eye on her, I guess.

_{[The little Absol actually moved at that point, opening a tiny pink mouth in a wide yawn.]}

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

...

Oi, are you busy?

[video]

[foolishwren]

_{[She perks from her somewhat pensive spell.]}

Huh? Uh-- no, not at the moment.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Have you eaten dinner yet?

[video]

[foolishwren]

_{[... She smiles crookedly.]}

Not yet.

You?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

I wouldn't be asking if I had.

[video]

[foolishwren]

Meetcha down in the lobby in a few?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

It's a date! [... not really said because he actually thinks it's a date, it just sounded right and has a nice ring to it]

[video]

[foolishwren]

_{[That it does, Kaito. That it does.]}

Awesome. See you in a bit, Smiley.

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[as promised, Smiley is in the lobby waiting for her a short time later]

[action]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[She comes tromping into the lobby from the stairwell, pulling her hat on-- along with the new coat that good ol' Proff. Layton sent her for Christmas.]

[She spots Kaito and gives him a wave and a grin as she heads over.]</sub>

Heeey. Got a place in mind or are we doing this hunter-gatherer style and just wandering till we find something promising?

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[he happens to be wearing the scarf she got him! Though the moon that has been doodled on is tucked away, just in caes]

I have a few bow and arrows with me. I thought we could try something new by catching our food for ourselves. [he kids of course]

[action]

[foolishwren]

_{[She doesn't bother stifling a grin at the sight of that scarf. She'd known he'd like that one!]}

I'm pretty handy with a spear!

Let's go hunt some mammoths.

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

Or some saber tooth tigers~

[action]

[foolishwren]

We can pick our teeth with the tusks!

_{[She tosses one end of her scarf over one shoulder and heads for the lobby doors.]}

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

And make loincloths out of the fur! [following~]

[action]

[foolishwren]

And we shall have the most stylish loincloths in all the land.

All those neanderthals will be so jealous.

_{[She steps outside, grinning broadly.]}

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

Sounds like a fun afternoon, doesn't it? [following her, also grinning]

[action]

[foolishwren]

I think I can warm up to the idea, yeah!

So, what direction do you think all the mammoths and tigers are lurking?

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[he scratches his cheek thoughtfully, before pointing in a random direction and spinning around for a bit before he stops]

That way!

[action]

[foolishwren]

I declare the hunt officially ON!

_{[Hefting the imaginary spear, Heather marches purposefully in the direction Kaito indicated. ... Probably getting a few stares from passersby in the process.]}
